Hi friends, welcome!

Your journey to mind and body wellness here.

I’m Nichole Dandrea-Russert, MS, RDN, a dietitian nutritionist, author, yoga instructor, and wellness guide helping women reconnect with their body’s natural wisdom. My work focuses on how food, mood, sleep, and hormones work together — and how small, sustainable shifts can help you feel vibrant, balanced, and grounded again.

​

I’m a big believer that every little step toward health can make a big impact — whether it’s adding one plant-forward meal, taking a mindful breath, or savoring a square of dark chocolate.
